Prohazing
Received 3/13/2000
To Whom it may concern:
I find your website disturbing and appaling. It seems to me
that anyone who contributed to the making of this website did not
have the mental rigidity to withstand the "stress" of
hazing.
Your definition of hazing includes: "creation of excessive
fatigue". I would like to take this opportunity to inform
you that University creates excessive fatigue. In light of this,
I would like to move to ban post secondary education. It creates
excessive fatigue. On a side note, road trips are a mandatory
part of University life as well.
And as to the comment that "having power and control over
others" can be considered hazing, i'm wondering if you have
an employer. If so, if you decided not to perform the
tasks up to standard for your employer, would you be fired? My guess
is yes.
I'm going to break away from my polite attitude and comment
that if anyone decided to really follow your "alternatives
to hazing" they'd be branded as Pansies on ANY hockey team.
Hockey, and other sports, as well as military institutions demand
mental toughness; hazing quickly weeds out those that do not have
the capacity to make it.
While extreme hazing (anal rape with the hook end of a field
hockey stick or something like that) should be forbidden, regular
hazing, (which seems to have been blown extremely out of proportion)
should be used by institutions to create a sense of unity.
It's people like you who drive the national average of obesity
up -
Without a bit of mental toughness, it would be a miracle to
see any of you in reasonable physical fitness.
In Full Support of Hazing,
